What is a Zendesk standard sandbox and how can I use it?

A Zendesk standard sandbox is a test environment that mimics your production environment. It allows you to experiment with new features and settings without impacting your live setup. You can create a standard sandbox by navigating to Admin Center > Account > Sandbox > Sandboxes, and clicking the 'Create Sandbox' button. Once created, you can make changes, test, and fine-tune your setup. Remember, changes made in the sandbox are not automatically copied to the production environment, so you'll need to manually replicate them if needed.
